What makes medical paper review different?
Medical and clinical research papers have additional requirements beyond standard academic formatting. Clinical trial reports must follow CONSORT guidelines; systematic reviews need PRISMA compliance; observational studies follow STROBE or MOOSE checklists. Medical journals require explicit ethics statements, patient consent declarations, trial registration numbers, and ORCID IDs for all authors. Structured abstracts are mandatory at most medical journals (JAMA, Lancet, NEJM, BMJ). CheckMyManuscript validates these medical-specific requirements alongside standard manuscript checks.
Medical paper checks
Structured abstract compliance
Validate required subheadings (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion) for clinical journals.
Ethics statement
Verify ethics committee approval and patient consent declarations are present.
Trial registration
Check for clinical trial registration number in the manuscript.
Author ORCID IDs
Confirm ORCID identifiers are provided for all authors.
Funding disclosure
Verify funding sources and institutional affiliations are complete.
Reference completeness
Validate PubMed-indexed citations include PMID or DOI.

The practical edge your peers already use
Across disciplines and career stages, researchers reduce bottlenecks and submit with confidence: clearer drafts, easier guideline compliance, and less back and forth with co‑authors and reviewers.
I use it to review my students' papers. It instantly highlights typos, missing references, and unclear sections, helping me focus my feedback on the quality of the research instead of surface errors.
Ilyass
Professor in Mechanical Engineering, ÉTS Montréal
I relied on it throughout my thesis to strengthen my writing. It suggested clearer phrasing, improved flow between sections, and ensured my references were complete before the final deadline.
Manon
Master's Student in Speech Therapy
I write research in both Portuguese and English, and it adapts perfectly to either language. It provided precise feedback in Portuguese, helping me maintain academic tone and consistency across my drafts.
Afonso
PhD Candidate, UFPE
It gave excellent advice on how to rephrase and present ideas more clearly and concisely. The suggestions helped me refine my arguments and make my research more impactful.
Félix
Postdoc Researcher, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
A round of suggestions helped to generally refine the text of my paper and, moreover, to present some of its key points in a more focused form.

Frequently asked questions
CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) is a checklist for reporting randomized controlled trials. Most major medical journals require CONSORT compliance for RCT submissions. Our checker flags missing CONSORT elements.
Our checker validates against common requirements across JAMA, The Lancet, NEJM, BMJ, and other major clinical journals. We're expanding specific journal-by-journal coverage continuously.
Yes: medical journals require explicit reporting of statistical methods including software used, significance thresholds, and how missing data was handled. Our checker flags vague statistical reporting.
